122: Chapter 122: Marriage!
Fierce Wife!
Clang!
Clang!
Two crisp sounds of stamping the marriage certificate felt like a heavy hamr striking Tang Xiao’s heart.
When the staff handed over the marriage certificate, Tang Xiao didn’t take it.
She stood frozen like a wooden figure.
Wu Jie, quick-eyed and deft-handed, hurriedly took it and expressed his thanks.
Dragging the dazed Tang Xiao to a secluded spot, Wu Jie asked with concern,
“What’s wrong?
Do you feel unwell, or are you having regrets?”
“If you’re having regrets, then let’s go and get a divorce right now!”
Tang Xiao shook her head slightly.
“Regrets?
I just…
just feel that it was too fast.”
Wu Jie chuckled and said, “It’s just getting a certificate, of course it’s fast!”
Tang Xiao took the marriage certificate.
A red and bright booklet, upon opening it, there were photos of the couple and the clearly impressed seal.
She reached out and gently caressed it, a flurry of emotions running through Tang Xiao’s heart.
“I…
got married?”
Tang Xiao murmured involuntarily.
Wu Jie remained silent.
Be it marriage or divorce, Jie would accompany her to the end.
So why be lancholy and sentintal?
After a two-second silence, Tang Xiao took out her phone to snap a picture and posted it on social dia, then handed the marriage certificate back to Wu Jie.
“How many people are you inviting to tomorrow’s engagent party?”
Tang Xiao’s tone was flat, her heart already calm.
“About two tables’ worth!”
Tang Xiao nodded silently, casting a glance at those excited new couples who were kissing and hugging after getting their certificates, her lips curling into a cold smirk.
“It’s just getting a certificate.
Is there a need to be so excited?”
Tang Xiao humd, shaking her head and stepping downstairs.
Wu Jie followed behind, teasing with a laugh,
“After getting the certificate, lovers beco spouses.
It’s a different relationship; how can they not be excited?
Going to a hotel, no more worries about room checks!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the system began to announce good news.
Because of Tang Xiao’s social dia post, many people knew that the two were registered as married.
So naturally, quite a few people started to feel envious and resentful toward Wu Jie.
A thousand, ten thousand, five thousand…
Crazy!
Tang Xiao’s display of affection truly made Wu Jie earn like crazy.
Back in the car.
Wu Jie also took photos and posted on social dia, with the caption: “Single no more, Bro is no longer a lone dog!”
Driving on the road, Wu Jie paid attention to the system’s announcents of good news.
However…
Without comparison, there is no harm.
Tang Xiao’s social dia post quickly brought Wu Jie tens of thousands of energy points.
And himself?
After waiting a long ti, only to receive Ding Chun’s envy 2, Chen Yong’s jealousy 4…
Finally, a big one ca, but it was only Cao Bin’s hatred 100…
Speechless!
“What the hell can I say?
To compare oneself with others is to court frustration; to compare goods, one may as well throw them away!”
No longer concerned with the system’s announcents, Wu Jie focused on driving.
Tang Xiao sat in the passenger seat, resting with her eyes closed.
Suddenly, Tang Xiao opened her eyes and asked with a frown,
“Now that we are married, should our nas for each other change too?”
“I call you husband?
You call wife?
But…
why does it feel so awkward!”
Wu Jie laughed heartily, “Who still talks like that these days?
I call you Xiao, you call Jie, isn’t that nice?”
Tang Xiao huffed, “But you’re clearly younger than !”
“Younger?
Bro is quite big, okay?”
“Get lost!”
Tang Xiao turned her head away and snorted, “Don’t think marrying is a good thing; you’ll have plenty of trouble in the future.”
“From the sound of it, it’s like I’ve been trapped by you, huh?” Wu Jie said with a playful laugh.
“Not really trapped, but if you act as my shield, be careful not to be pierced by a thousand arrows and die!” Tang Xiao said with a cold laugh.
Wu Jie shook his head and gave a sheepish smile, “Rest assured, the person who could kill bro hasn’t been born yet!”
“Don’t talk big, careful not to break your tongue!” Tang Xiao raised her hand and pointed behind her, “That black Buick has been following us for quite a while now, didn’t you notice?”
Wu Jie glanced at the rearview mirror, “Just being followed, not like they’re going to do anything, what’s there to make a fuss about?”
Changing the topic, Wu Jie asked with a smile, “But I’m curious, in movies and novels, tycoons are surrounded by bodyguards, all dressed in black suits and sunglasses, looking imposing.
But in the end?”
Tang Xiao lightly twirled her hair and laughed, “You’ve watched too many silly dramas and naive novels.
A bunch of people surrounding and protecting, that’s security not bodyguards.
Real bodyguards are hard to train.”
“A good bodyguard might not be very skilled in martial arts, but they can predict danger, sacrifice themselves for protection, give ergency treatnt, cover a retreat, and most importantly, be loyal.
Otherwise, how can they throw themselves in harm’s way as a shield at the crucial mont?”
“Additionally, matching bodyguards also depends on the person and the situation.
I can protect myself, what do I need a bodyguard for?
Besides, good bodyguards can cost millions a year in salaries, even a rich and powerful crook like ng Changxin only employs one Luo Wen, right?”
Wu Jie nodded in sudden understanding, now he truly learned sothing.
“So…”
Tang Xiao turned her head and glanced at Wu Jie: “I’m certain, those following us are targeting you.”
“I know, ng Changxin!
A tycoon with wealth, power, and status like him, slapped in the face by in public, his bodyguard Luo Wen beaten and injured, his reputation tarnished – he couldn’t possibly swallow this humiliation,” Wu Jie said mockingly.
“He dares not touch you and your father, so he had to choose , the soft persimmon to squeeze.”
“But it’s different now, we’re registered as married.
If he retaliates against you, it’s also a challenge to the Tang family!” Tang Xiao said with a calm smile, “So you’ll be very safe within the corporation, but be careful when you’re on your own out there.”
Tang Xiao wasn’t wrong.
Approaching the headquarters building, the tailing black Buick car pulled over and stopped following.
However…
What Tang Xiao didn’t expect was that Wu Jie suddenly reversed the car and went back.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Tang Xiao shouted.
Wu Jie didn’t answer, got out of the car, and walked straight towards the Buick.
The driver inside and the two n reporting on the phone next to him were all stunned.
Knock, knock, knock…
Wu Jie knocked on the window.
After hesitating for two seconds, the driver pressed the button and lowered it.
“Call ng Changxin!”
The two looked at each other, both a bit shell-shocked.
The man on the passenger side, after hesitating, unplugged the earphone cord and handed the phone, which was in the middle of a call, to Wu Jie.
At that mont, Tang Xiao caught up.
She thought Wu Jie was about to start a fight.
But instead…
Wu Jie turned on the speakerphone and coldly demanded, “ng Changxin, if you want revenge, there’s no need to have soone tail !
Set a ti and place, and we can have a face-off directly!”
“In any case, if you don’t kill , I will kill you!”
As soon as he said this, Tang Xiao froze.
What the hell!
Was this so sort of brazen move?
Taking the initiative to set up a fight?
Just as Tang Xiao was about to speak, ng Changxin’s voice ca from the phone.
“Good lad!
You’ve got guts, I respect that!” he said.
“But we still need to settle our scores.
As for a duel…”
“I say there’s no day like today!
How about we do it at your engagent party with Tang Xiao tomorrow?
I think that’s a great idea!”
“You win, you celebrate; you lose, you mourn.
How great is that?”
Furious, Tang Xiao strode forward and shouted sharply, “ng Changxin, if you dare make a widow, be careful I’ll have your entire family wiped out!”
